Goddamit, Thursday night sucked. Just as I was about to go to sleep, my air mattress went flat. Ended up in a pricey fuckin' motel room. I want my van back!
Wahhhhhhhhh, haaahh, awahhhh!!!
(In case ya missed the memo, my van's in the shop. And the fuckin' air mattress is part of temporary digs.)
Yeah, so, I got all settled down back in Cibola National Forest, up on a mesa between Gallup and Grants, NM. Was there for hours, no problem! Then about 10:30 pm, just I was settlin' in to sleep, the air mattress sprung a leak. Still don't know where.
A flat air mattress in that rental Dodge Grand Caravan meant almost no insulation on a 20° F (-7 C) night, a hard bed, and a good chance a tie rings diggin' inta my back! Fuck that shit!
So I loaded up and drove inta Grants. It were about 11:30 when I got in.
Now, a tougher (or broker) man woulda gotten a new air mattress at Walmart and slept in the lot. But Vanholio was a whiney wimp that night. He got hisself a Motel 6 room.
Not only did that shit cost me $45 with tax, it sucked. The room was blasted hot. The mattress was old. The room stank a sewer gas. And Ms. Barkley got stirred up by every sound of the neighbors. We didn't get no sleep till near 3 am!
Then I woke up at 8 am anyhow and was draggin' all day. Didn't get shit done.
Got myself a new air mattress. Hope it lasts til the van's done, Wednesday latest they say. ...
Goddammit, I'm tired of the fuckin' air mattress. I want MY van back NOW! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Would it be possible to transfer the mattress from your van to the Dodge?
ReplyDeleteThat's where I'm kickin' myself! I didn't do that before I left Albuquerque 'cause I was too embarrassed to ask and too lazy to drive an hour out of my way to do it. 😔 I'll get my van back in a couple days anyway. But next time ...
